Abstract
Description
- The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0115767, filed on Aug. 31, 2021, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.
- The present disclosure relates to an individual air conditioning control system for an electric automobile. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an individual air conditioning control system for an electric automobile, which has a heating, ventilation, & air conditioning (HVAC, PE room position) and an indoor distributor separated from each other, and is capable of performing a 4-zone (front left and right seats and rear left and right seats) control by use of one blower.
- Recently, it is an electric automobile which is emerging as a social issue, such as implementation of environmentally friendly technology and environmental depletion. The electric automobile is operated using a motor receiving electricity from a battery and outputting power. Therefore, there is no discharge of carbon dioxide, noise is very small, and the energy efficiency of the motor is higher than the energy efficiency of the engine, and the electric automobile is attracted as an eco-friendly car.
- In implementing the electric automobile, a core technology is a technology related to a battery module, and in recent years, a research into lightweight, miniaturization, a short charge time, etc., of the battery, has been actively made. Only when the battery module is used in an optimal temperature environment, optimal performance and a long life-span can be maintained. However, it is difficult to use the battery module in the optimal temperature environment by heat generated while driving and an external temperature change.
- In the electric automobile, because there is no waste heat source generated from a separate engine during combustion like an internal combustion engine, vehicle indoor heating is performed in the winter by use of an electric heating device, and warm-up is required to enhance battery charge and discharge performance in a cold weather condition, and as a result, a separate cooling water heating electric heater is configured and used. That is, a technology is adopted, which operates a cooling/heating system for adjusting a temperature of the battery module apart from a cooling/heating system for vehicle indoor air conditioning to maintain the optimal temperature environment of the battery module.
- In other words, two independent cooling/heating systems are constructed, and one is used for indoor cooling/heating and the other one is used for adjusting the temperature of the battery module.
- However, when the cooling/heating system is operated by such a method, energy cannot be efficiently managed, and as a result, a cruising distance is short and long-range driving is thus impossible, and a driving distance is reduced by 30% or more during cooling in the summer and 40% or more during heating in the winter, and a heating problem in the winter, which is not issued in the internal combustion engine becomes more serious. A battery cooling/warm-up system of the electric automobile in the related art performs cooling upon operating an air conditioner and warm-up upon operating heating by use of indoor air, but consumed power increases during cooling/warm-up and a battery cell space needs to be expanded compared with using a liquid fluid (cooling water) upon cooling/warming up the battery with air, and there is a limit in expansion of the number of cells due to package space expansion and additional weight expansion, and an air temperature gradually rises when passing through the battery cell, and a temperature deviation between an inlet cell and an outlet cell is severe, and as a result, it is difficult to operate the battery with maximum efficiency.
- Therefore, when the temperature of the battery is raised, a cooling water temperature is raised by a separate electric device and the battery is warmed up through the raised cooling water temperature, and the temperature of the battery is maintained at 38 to 42° C. to be operated with optimal efficiency, but each of an indoor heating electric heater and an electric heater for raising the temperature of the battery is separately applied, and a lot of energy waste elements are generated in a cost rise factor and a heater operation.
- A configuration therefor will be described in brief as follows with reference to
FIG. 1 . - The heating device for the vehicle is constituted by an
evaporator 20 embedded in abody 10, aPTC heater 30, aninput unit 40 receiving predetermined temperature of each of a driver's seat and a passenger's seat, left and right temperature sensing units 50 and 60 sensing an air temperature passing through a left side and a right side of thePTC heater 30, acontrol unit 70 outputting a PWM control signal for controlling thePTC heater 30 based on the set temperature input from theinput unit 40 and a measurement temperature measured from each of the left and right temperature sensing units 50 and 60, and apower supply unit 80 adjusting power supplied to thePTC heater 30 according to the output PWM control signal of thecontrol unit 70. - In the
HVAC body 10, aventilation discharge path 11 for cooling/heating interior of the vehicle is formed on one upper side, adefrost discharge path 12 for removing an ice generated on a window is formed on the other upper side, afoot discharge path 13 for discharging air toward a foot is formed in the rear, and anair inflow hole 14 through which external air is introduced is formed in the front. - The heating device for the vehicle using the PTC heater configured as above is a technology that utilizes a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater and individually outputs left and right heater source portions, and differently applies left and right temperatures of the PTC heater to adjust the air temperature discharged to the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, and as a result, a size of a heater unit is decreased and the number of components is reduced, reducing easiness of manufacturing and a weight.
- The heating device for the vehicle using the PTC heater improves a control method of the
PTC heater 30 without a mix door to individually adjust the temperatures of the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. - Accordingly, in the case of a problem of the technology, a problem in that only individual temperature control for a front seat is possible and individual temperature control for a rear seat is impossible occurs.
- Because there is no bypass door controlling a cold wind immediately passing through the
evaporator 20, there is a problem in that indoor freshness (keeping head cool and feet warm) deteriorates upon adjusting the temperature. - Furthermore, because only the PTC heater is used, an electric mileage is inferior under a mild condition.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , the present disclosure is constituted by abody 10 having theair inflow hole 15 formed at one side and a plurality ofair discharge holes 16 formed at the other side, a heat exchanger installed on an air passage in theHVAC body 10, i.e., aheater 30 installed upstream side of an air flow direction in theHVAC body 10, and anevaporator 20 installed a downstream side and having inlet and outlet pipes to introduce and discharge refrigerant, and air changed to a warm wind while passing through theheater 30 passes through theevaporator 20, and then is immediately discharged to theair discharge hole 16 opened according to an air conditioning mode (a vent mode, a bi-level mode, a floor mode, a mix mode, and defrost mode) and supplied to each part of a vehicle interior to perform heating of the vehicle interior. - A
modern door 17 for opening/closing the discharge hole is provided in thedischarge hole 16, and themodern door 17 is constituted by a slidingdoor portion 17 a and agear shaft 17 b which is gear-coupled. - Even in the air conditioner configured as above, there is a problem that only individual temperature control for a front seat which is a basic problem is possible and individual temperature control for a rear seat is impossible occurs.

heater 30 provided in the HVAC body, and the indoor distributor includes a front seat valve provided in a front seat discharge hole, and a rear seat valve provided in a rear seat discharge hole to distribute a wind output from the HVAC body to each discharge hole. - According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure having such a configuration, the following effect can be obtained upon cooling and heating.
- First, under a maximum (MAX) cooling condition, a cold wind passing through the evaporator prevents hot refrigerant from flowing to an internal condenser by use of a three-way valve and a 4-zone HV PTC heater is turned off to secure cooling performance and a bypass door is opened to minimize air ventilation resistance which moves to an air vent and a front seat air volume door and a rear seat air volume door are fully opened to secure an air volume to the maximum.
